Objectives. This study was designed to evaluate the relative prognostic significance of
restrictive left ventricular (LV) filling after acute myocardial infarction. Background. Data …

OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) filling
patterns, as determined by mitral E-wave deceleration time (DT) and color M-mode flow …

Left ventricular diastolic filling was characterized by transmitral pulsed-wave Doppler
velocities in 62 patients with acute myocardial infarction, and diastolic filling variables were …

The relationship between echocardiographic indicators of acute and chronic left ventricular
(LV) filling pressure and LV dilation after acute myocardial infarction was assessed in 47 …

Background—Restrictive mitral filling pattern (RFP), the most severe form of diastolic
dysfunction, is a predictor of outcome after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Low power has …

Diastolic function is routinely assessed using Doppler-derived left ventricular (LV) filling
patterns. Ratios between peak flow velocities during early filling and atrial contraction (EA) …

Previous studies have demonstrated that in patients with various lypes of cardiac diseases
and left ventricular dysfunction, left ventricular filling patterns assessed by Doppler of mitral …

OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the relative prognostic role of a restrictive left ventricular
(LV) filling pattern after a first anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients treated …

Background Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction contributes to signs and symptoms of
clinical heart failure and may be related to prognosis in heart diseases. LV diastolic …

Following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) there is immediate deterioration of
contractility in the infarcted left ventricular (LV) wall. This can be followed by regional dilation …
